Mominul Haque can bowl decent SLA, he can be the third spinner. I think this is a decent squad. Even though I would have preferred Subhashis Roy and Nurul Hasan in the Squad. can't do much about the Shakib Situation i guess. contrary to what many people think I think Bangladesh has what it takes to win this, even with this squad. What happened in the Tri Series was, we were playing with 2/3 players short every match, it was Tamim + Shakib who set the tempo/bailed us out with the rest chipping in. Bangladesh got a little too complacent in the final two matches and paid the price. It happens! time to move on.

Best possible lineup under current circumstances.

Although i think team management may consider someone else for Taijul. But who knows maybe this was Taijul's opportunity to step up. Surely must have picked at least a thing or two from Sunil Joshi?

We need to keep our calm and sail through the mind game. If 1st or 2nd day performance is not up to the mark, in case we collapse or Lanka builds a stronger partnership, we should not lose hope. It is a long 5 day to exploit, we need to show grit and temperament. This is our home turf. We beat AUS recently. We beat this team in their home. No way if we give 100% they have a chance.

It does not matter who is preparing the pitch. It's easy to predict what will happen - all our spinners, may be except Fizz will look toothless on it, and then both Lankan spinners and pacers will wreck havoc on it.
